It would appear that there isn't a GTK+2 for Python 3 in Ubuntu, or at
least I can't find one.  I've reverted to staying with Python 2 fr the
moment.  I can't manage changing the code to work with a database
instead of LDAP *and* migrating from GTK+2 to GTK+3. :-)

When I have it working as I want in python 2 I'll consider the GTK+2
to GTK+3 migration and moving to python 3.
